Configuration of a Repository

Click the Repositories link in the navigation bar.
In the Create Repository section:
- Enter the repository name in the Name text field.
- Select ViewVC from the Type pop-up menu.
- Click the Create Repository button.
This will take you to the Update Repository page where you'll need to fill in all the details for the repository:
- The Name field should be pre-populated with the name you entered in Step 2a above.
- Paste in the SVN repository's URL in the URL field (e.g. https://localhost.localdomain/repos/myrepo or file:///var/repos/myrepo).
- Paste in the ViewVC installation's root URL in the ViewVC URL field (e.g. http://viewvc-server/viewvc/).
- Enter the name of the SVN repository, as it appears in the list seen in ViewVC, in the ViewVC Name field (e.g. myrepo).
- If the ViewVC installation has the root_as_url_component option enabled (see the viewvc.conf file) then enable the ViewVC Root As URL Component Enabled? field.
- If the ViewVC installation has the checkout view enabled (the allowed_views field list includes co in the viewvc.conf file) then check the ViewVC Checkout View Enabled? field.
- Enter the username of a user which has read access to the SVN repository in the SVN Username field (e.g. "repo-user").
- Enter the password for the user in the SVN Password field (e.g. "Sup4rSecre7!").
- If your repository is configured with the standard trunk, branches & tags folders at the top-level, select the Standard Repository field, otherwise enter the appropriate paths into the Trunk Path, Branch Path and Tag Path fields.
- Click the Update Repository button.
Click the Import Everything button to test connectivity and perform an initial import of the repository changesets.

Note: This may take a long time or even fail for large repositories.
